I don’t have a sweet tooth, but I always make sure there’s something sweet to grab in the fridge or snack box.
A little pick me up when blood sugars are running low and the food reheating takes 20 minutes.
Or simply to remove umay.
Fruit salad is considered a celebration dish in my country.
People make them for birthdays, Christmas, New Year’s, etc.
In my house, however, fruit salad makes a frequent appearance.
Why?
Because I like it.
And my husband loves it.
And those are reasons enough.
Usually fruit salad has all sorts of ingredients like shredded coconuts, cheese, condensed milk, and a few others.
Each family has their own recipe.
Mine is simple - just cream and sweetener.
That’s it.
Why complicate it?
We eat it for dessert after a hearty meal.
The combination of sweet and tart from the fruits, all covered in creaminess makes for a satisfying treat after dinner.
A Simple Pleasure.
And this has got me thinking -
What other dishes can I simplify to save on time and energy?
Because sometimes, simple and easy is just exactly what we need to satisfy our bellies and boost our spirits.
